If the problem is that I suggested the OP should have searched rather than just giving the answer (which I did do), then I won't accept that as a legitimate complaint.
It may be annoying to repeatedly seeing something which may seem condescending (like "why don't you search?"), but it's at least as annoying to have people ask questions when they should be searching and spend your time on answering those questions. The best way I know to get them (or others reading) to at least search in the future is to say so, and that isn't always coated in a pill of niceness (not that I was being not nice there, mind you. At most I would say I was terse, and even that is stretching it). I generally don't like the regulars being rude, but I don't think this qualifies.
Not to mention that even that didn't seem to help, because in the next reply I had to suggest a search again, so you can't win 'em all.
I can personally say that if I'm searching for something and the first result I get is from some forum somewhere and it points to an MSDN article and is also asking the OP if they tried searching, I'm not annoyed at all by that, because a) it's justified, b) it doesn't apply to me and c) I got the answer I actually wanted.
